. Students can be asked touse the technical processes of a given standard, such as the ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 [13], or theISO/IEC 29110 [5]. However, educators are free to define other process flows, by adding newunstandardized processes, or by inserting processes from other standards. Two use-cases ap-plying our solution are described in [31]. In this solution, students and educators pass through well-defined scenarios. The reader canfind the most important components of the solution in Appendix A. • Main learning scenario This represents the high-level learning scenario. As illustrated in Figure 3, it encompasses other sub-scenarios. The proposed solution has two main players. On the one hand, edu- cators are responsible for

The review consisted of an internal review of theengineering programs offered at our institution, a review of engineering textbooks commerciallyavailable, an environmental scan of the fifteen most research-intensive universities in Canada(termed the U15 universities), and survey of industry representatives. The result of this studywas a list of recommended topics that should be included in an engineering economics course,including some areas where new resources would need to be developed.

The financial model was completed for the students to first run baseline designconditions and analyze the Capital and Operational Expenditures, CAPEX and OPEX (see Fig. 2for CAPEX) to help determine which unit operations should be chosen for sensitivity analysis ofkey engineering design parameters. One key parameter was the weight fraction of water in thefeed. Students then did a sensitivity analysis for weight fraction of water in the feed generatingthe graphs in Fig. 3. A desired Internal Rate of Return of 20% was given and from the sensitivityanalysis students determined that the water content must be less than 67% in the pulp feed stream
